I assume that the son didn't look like a "pure" Japanese (god, do I feel dirty for writing this). Hope for a more innocent explanation

Having a foreign name and/or mixed race couple routinely results in some Japanese folks assuming she couldn't possibly be Japanese.

And then after that assumption is made, some folks assume that "If you're not Japanese, then clearly you don't speak Japanese."

It is surprisingly difficult to updates folks' perceptions on whether you speak Japanese or not by speaking Japanese with them.
